The Mormon Tithe is not voluntary either. They even require a tax return in case you try to cheat.

Sure it is. Being a Mormon is voluntary. Don't want to pay a require tithe (assuming it is required), then don't be a Mormon.

Well if you're going to go that route, then you can apply that to just about anything. Don't want to pay American taxes? Don't be an American.

Think about this -- yours is the most clueless interpretation of "liberalism" on the planet.

I observe liberal behaviors and tendencies. Its not very difficult to do.

At some point (rapidly) one realizes that the rhetoric does not match the actions.

But they are not forced to be Mormons. So its voluntary.

Liberals and their taxations and restrictions-those are involuntary. Reference the ACA.

To clarify, one does not need to pay tithing to be a Mormon. Anyone who has ever been baptized into this church, and who has not subsequently either been excommunicated (which requires one to have committed a far greater offense than failing to pay tithing) nor undergone a specific process of being voluntarily removed from membership in the church, is a Mormon.

Paying tithing is one of the criteria by which one is judged to be in good enough standing with the church to be eligible for a Temple recommend, or to hold certain positions in the church. There is nothing more done to verify that a member has paid a full and honest tithe than to ask him. I do not know of any circumstances in which any official of the church would ever ask to see a member's tax returns or other such documentation.
 
People choose a particular religion and to adhere to it, its voluntary.

Are you a prisoner and can't leave the United States? You have a remarkably upbeat attitude for someone being held against their will.
 
Is there actually any push anywhere in the US for government to make churches perform marriages for gays?

nope, no realy push anywhere in the US

The odd thing is that other nations actually enforce immigration laws. Citizenship in another nation is quite expensive and difficult to obtain-though it is possible.

Instead of leaving, I prefer to minimize the dangers of leftism here in the USA. Its my country. :2wave:

So it's your choice to pay American taxes then.

Matt Walsh is an anti-feminist blogger who runs the aptly named Matt Walsh Blog. Most of his blogs involve him mischaracterizing and insulting things that he doesn't agree with or like. Especially targeted are things like immigration, gender equality and feminist-oriented causes, such as the pro-choice movement.[1]

Emphasis mine. Walsh is using constitutionally non-applicable arguments to make his case.
